A. to Nearing HhiSkerS.

Two faIacies are il vogue regarding
the whisker question. One is that thin
faced man should support side whiskcrs
to widen his face; the other that q round
faced fat man should favor long chin
whiskers to lenCthen his face. Both are
adopted on the counter action and antidote
principle, but are wrong as wrong can
be. \ man with a sharp chin exposed Is
thin and appears thin in spite of his
Burns:Ces. And a moon shaped man
gives himself a humorous and clOwnish
appearance by wearing long, sharp tuft
on MS chin. The principle Of conformity
should be observed or a wholesale change
made. \ thin man, for instance, should
not wear chin whiskers, no whiskcrS at
all or q beard He no more looks well
with side wiiskcrs and d peaked chin than
he would to stuff his chest and not his
cheeks and calves. To look well he must
BE- uniformly and consistently thin. oT he
may modify it by a complete beard \
TAT man should be smooth faced or wear
universal whiskers pretty closely cropped.
The well proportional and moderately
fun faced man may vary the style and
quantity Of his whiSkers with impunity 50
far Is the thin or broad appearance : con
ccrned. \ very short beard gives an
animal look; if very large ii indicates van

land along the sescoast so as to ex-
plain all the questions fully. 1t seems
probable that it was simply a move
ment of one layer upon another at
some point of the line of fracture not
very far from Charleston. Such a
movement of less than one inch would
be sufficient to produce all the changes
so far reported. What particular force,
or combination of forces, caused the
movement to come on August 81, can.
not yet be stated and may never be
known. Some surmise that it may
have been the great outflow of oil and
gas of tho last few years. II this is
correct, an increase in the output of
gas and oil should follow almost imme-
diately. But whether this had a part
in producing the phenomenon, or wheth-
er it was due to contraction alone. the
earthquake is likely to be followed by
others because the same condition of
things remains.
Some surprise has been expressed
that this earthquake was not followed
by great ocean wave at Charleston.
The sea wave is sometimes the most
destructive element of the earthquake.
Had such wave followed at Charles
ton. the loss Of life would have been
multiplied. But there was nothing to
produce the wave, for the centre of the
disturbance was on the land side of the
city, not seaward. The sea wave fol-
lows sudden change of level of the
floor of the ocean, either rise or de-
preston. The fact OF its absence at
Charleston shows that the centre of the
movement was on the land side.-Le

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The World
to-day presents the name of Roscoe Conk.
ling for United States Senator to succeed
Warner Miller, in the following editorial
"A Senator from the imperial state of New
York is to be elected by the Legislature that
will soon reassemble at Albany. Shall he
be man fitted by breadth and brilliancy of
intellect, by training and experience in
craftsmanship, by the gift of eloquence and
power in debate, and-in these times per-
haps the most important Of abby proud
honor before which corruption quails and
bribery hides its head Or shall he be a
mere mediocre man of business, with skill
in political intrigue and the adjunct of a
fat purse? Shall it be Roscoe Conkling, or
one OF the brood of political lillipnts who
have climbed into the high places once both
occupied and filled by men like
Marcy, Seward and Conkling? We
do not know that Conkling would
accept the office. We do know that
he is not a candidate for it. But we also
know that he is the ablest and best man in
the Republican party of New York for the
posiionl of Senator. The suggestion of his
name, growing spontaneously out of
disgraceful scandal of opposing candidates
and purses, has aroused an interest through
out the state that is fast rising to enthusi-
asm The grasping of the Senatorships in
other states as mere decorative distinctions
for ambitious millionaires, or as means of
rendering service to corporations and the
money power, renders it doubly important
that at this juncture New York should elect
Senator who has not only a voice, but a
conscience, not only commanding ability
but conspicuous honor and patriotism.
Such man is Roscoe Conkling. Are there
not Republicans enough who long to restore
the ancient prestige of New York in the
Senate, to unite with the Democrats in
electing him?"
